There are two areas of bipartisan agreement about President Donald Trump’s early days back in the White House: voters say he is moving quickly to keep promises and he is far more active and visible than his predecessor. There is, though, a giant divide over whether that is fantastic or frightening. “Trump is being bold and thinking big,” is the early headline from Betsy Sarcone, a Republican voter from suburban Des Moines. “How refreshing it is to have someone who says what they mean and can coherently answer questions.” Democratic organizer Davette Baker of Milwaukee is on the other side of America’s Trump divide. “This man is unhinged,” Baker said as Trump’s first week back in the White House unfolded. “The ‘law and order’ president isn’t holding up law and order. … And the immigration issue has everyone scared.” Linda Rooney represents a middle ground of sorts, if there is such a thing when it comes to Trump.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
